HODNOCENÍ ZEMĚDĚLSKÝCH BIOPLYNOVÝCH STANIC ČR
HUBAČ, Tomáš
The aim of this thesis was to compare several biogas plants in the South and Central Bohemia in several respects. Overall, it was also beneficial to see how these biogas plants solve or not solve the pretreatment of the substrate, as well as the use of ancillary benefits, such as the use of heat or residual digestate. Part of this thesis is a literature search, mapping the possibilities of increasing the efficiency of agricultural biogas plants.

The characterisation of selected type of „bio“ dairy product
Hanychová, Silvie ; Trachtová, Štěpánka (referee) ; Vítová, Eva (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with the sensory evaluation of kefir. Specifically the differences in the sensory properties of kefir produced using the same method from various types of milk were observed. The theoretical part was focused on kefir, its characteristics, composition and production using kefir grains. The experimental part deals with the comparison of four kefir samples based on sensory evaluation. The evaluation was made by the students from Faculty of Chemistry BUT, the untrained assessors. Therefore the evaluation results may be closely reflecting the opinions of common consumers. The samples of kefir were subjected to sensory evaluation by the ranking test and the pleasantness of chosen properties (appearance, colour, texture, odour and taste) was evaluated using a seven-point scale, as well as the overal acceptability of samples. The results were statistically processed and graphically evaluated.

Thermotolerant strains application for preparation of selected metabolites on waste hydrolysates
Musilová, Kristína ; Vítová, Eva (referee) ; Babák, Libor (advisor)
This Bachelor´s Thesis deals with the preparation of the selected metabolite on hydrolysates of orange fruit waste, specifically on orange peel hydrolysates using thermotolerant strains. The thermotolerant Bacillus coagulans strain having lactic acid as the primary metabolite, a substance with a great perspective, was selected for the fermentation process for its exceptional properties. At the beginning of the experiment, optimal conditions for the growth of the selected microorganism were determined; these were applied during the fermentations. Several fermentations were performed under various conditions until those conditions were determined, in which lactic acid was produced. The fermentation production was determined by the HPLC method and the saccharide decrease by the Somogyi-Nelson method. To achieve lactic acid production, it was necessary to extract the orange peels by an organic agent before fermentation, in order to eliminate substances causing inhibition of micro-organism growth. Higher yields were achieved by the SHF method, but the highest by using the Lactobacillus casei strain.

The influence of disintegration of the input material for the production of methane by anaerobic fermentation
Herman, Pavel ; Frýba, Lukáš (referee) ; Houdková, Lucie (advisor)
This master‘s thesis deals with the influence of disintegration of brewer's grains for the production of biogas by anaerobic fermentation. The first part introduces us with the issue of biodegradable wastes. There are given their characteristics, ways of handling with them and legislative restrictions associated with them. In other sections there is a detailed description of anaerobic fermentation itself, including characteristics of biogas. Then there is issue of disintegration during fermentation including a list and characteristic of some disintegration methods. The main part of the thesis consists of description of the experiments on which it is observed increment of biogas based on the disintegration of brewer's grains and the evaluation of the individual experiments including the calculation of economic of the disintegration in laboratory conditions.

Hydrogen Production from Biomass II
Matějka, Pavel ; Lisý, Martin (referee) ; Houdková, Lucie (advisor)
This master thesis continues the master thesis Výroba vodíku z biomasy. In that work were performed first experiments of hydrogen production from beer less by dark fermentation. Further experiments will continue based on previous experiments. For the energy balance were used results from [1] and data obtained from literature searches, because the results of the experiments were not entirely satisfactory. Energy balance was calculated for a laboratory fermenter to evaluate the efficiency of energy obtainable from the hydrogen produced by fermentation in a dark laboratory conditions. It was compared the yield given in [1] and yield derived from a literature review. The conclusion presents recommendations for further research.

Hydrogen Production from Biomass
Ožana, Ferdinand ; Beňo, Zdeněk (referee) ; Houdková, Lucie (advisor)
First part of this master´s thesis decribes the basic properties of hydrogen, its utilization in industry and economy. Greater attention is focused on the possibilities of hydrogen produciton. Next part describes anaerobic fermentation and optimum conditions for hydrogen production. The main part of the thesis deals with posibility of hydrogen production in an experimental laboratory unit using brewer´s grains as a primary material. The experiment was aimed to find suitable process conditions for hydrogen production. The quantity of produced gas and his quality depending on the amount of brewer´s grains and frequency of the dosage was observed. Based on the experiment, some recommendations are proposed for further research. An automatic feeding system is the most important of them. It will improve the quality of experimental work. A separate chapter is devoted to the automatic feeding system.

Sludge Utilisation from Pulp and Paper Plant
Zemanová, Kateřina ; Houdková, Lucie (referee) ; Boráň, Jaroslav (advisor)
The contens of diploma thesis is description of paper and pulp production and analysis of contemporary problems with disposal of sludges rising on industrial waste water treatment plant. Accent is focuses on description of waste water treatment technique, characteristics of rising sludge and the ways of his liquidation in particular plant for pulp production. Fundamental part of this project is evaluation of power and economics balance of current sludge technology in company Biocel Paskov a.s. and suggested sludge management technology. Balances are based on data gained from measurement in laboratory and on data gained from literary research.

Biomass for power plants in the off-grid operation
Roule, Jaroslav ; Radil, Lukáš (referee) ; Baxant, Petr (advisor)
The thesis discusses the use of biomass for electricity island operation. The first chapter explains the concept of biomass and its distribution. It also shows the potential and availability of biomass. The second chapter describes the transformation of biomass into a suitable fuel form. The third to fifth chapter describes the conversion of biomass as a fuel into electrical energy through combustion, Stirling and steam engine. In these chapters there are brought the following parameters and prices of these motors and single-phase and three-phase alternators that can be connected to these engines. Other chapters describe the production of electricity in line with consumption, where the cost per hour to run engines for the various types of fuel and price of the electricity produced in kilowatt hours is calculated. In the last chapter of the thesis there is described the possibility of accumulation of electrical energy.
